Philips WiZ 9W B22 WiFi Smart Bulb with Motion Sensing Review
The Philips WiZ 9W is the only smart bulb under Rs 2,000 with built-in motion sensing that automatically turns lights on when you enter a room. WiFi plus Bluetooth dual connectivity ensures the bulb responds even during internet outages.
Our Verdict
At Rs 1,500-1,800, the Philips WiZ 9W justifies its premium with motion sensing, dual WiFi+Bluetooth connectivity, circadian rhythm support, and Siri compatibility alongside Alexa and Google. The 4.3-star rating from 12,400 reviews is strong. Direct B22 base fits Indian sockets without adapters. The higher price is the main barrier, some connectivity issues are reported, and the WiZ app has a steeper learning curve than Tapo.
Best For
Premium buyers who want automatic motion-sensing lights with circadian rhythm for better sleep, especially for bathrooms, corridors, and walk-in wardrobes.
Consider Alternatives If
Budget buyers under Rs 1,000 or those who prefer simple on-off smart control without the complexity of motion sensing and circadian features.
